The FAA has issued a new Airworthiness Directive (AD) for the IAE V2500 engine, which powers aircraft such as the Airbus A320ceo family, MD‑90, and Embraer KC‑390. The AD mandates the replacement of the diffuser case assembly due to identified manufacturing quality issues. Failure to take action may result in uncontained release of the assembly, causing damage to both the engine and aircraft. The replacement—including 70 hours of labor and part costs—can total approximately $255,950 per engine.
